TOMAS GALVAS ARE YOU KIDDING ME???

Galvas intercepts a stretch pass then goes end-to-end and buries a highlight reel goal!

[Pens System @PensSystem]

@Kaiden_D04 @joak995735 Again, the twins kill penalties too and are around 6’. Dumais is a horrible and laughable comparison. They invited Kindel to the showcase summer 2025 who would be a better comparable considering he also can kill penalties, is a similar height and put up near 100pts in the WHL.

Liam Ruck has 11 points in his last 3 games and is riding a six-game point streak.

Markus Ruck has 10 points in his last 3 games and is riding a nine-game point streak.

Classic Hockey Canada.

@Kaiden_D04 @joak995735 Using Dumais as a comparable is pretty lazy. He played in the Q, is smaller, AND doesn't immediately have chemistry with a linemate.

Also, to be fair to him, basically that entire team was a mess.

[Pens System @PensSystem]

@joak995735 I think you're missing the point that this goes back to the World Junior Summer Showcase. Just because you might not be ready to make the team doesn't mean you shouldn't be in the mix.

Also, I'm pretty certain Dumais was 19.

[Pens System @PensSystem]

@canexplr They were the two leading scorers in the CHL last year. You're allowed a slow(er) month. Even then, Markus was well above a point per game, so that argument really only applies to Liam.

Also, they weren't invited to the Summer Showcase which has nothing to do with this season.

[Pens System @PensSystem]

@MarkDBD_ I imagine that would’ve been clarified had it been the case. If not it should have been.

[Pens System @PensSystem]

@hockeyohlncaa How? They’ve opted to not take top scorers like Cristall, Vanacker, Firkus (Firkus was only added due to other players dropping out). If you want to go out of only World Juniors, they left off Bedard from the Olympic team.

It’s also not like the Rucks don’t kill penalties.

[Pens System @PensSystem]

They didn't show much interest in Bill Zonnon before his injury last season either, as he wasn't invited to the World Junior Summer Showcase.

[Pens System @PensSystem]

Great pass from Charlie Trethewey to Tynan Lawrence (STL)!

[Pens System @PensSystem]

@PaulieSludge @ThrobbyBoucher I believe it was said to mimic a slingshot effect.

[Pens System @PensSystem]

@MotorCityGilly @burneridk3 @ThrobbyBoucher Unsurprisingly the blade felt super light. You can imagine how much that throws someone’s stick handling off.

I also felt super weak on the puck and was losing more battles in the corner than usual.

Big fan of the ER Spine though and I continue to use it.

Another double Ruck assist on a Gordon-Carroll goal!

Liam now has 5 assists tonight, 4 of which are primary assists, while Markus has 4 assists of his own!

[Pens System @PensSystem]

Wait, sorry. This was his fourth of the night.

Trying to balance watching this and the Penguins game.

[Pens System @PensSystem]

Liam Ruck picks up his 3rd assist of the night!

Markus has currently been credited with the secondary assist, but I'm not sure that's correct.

[Pens System @PensSystem]

Markus Ruck finds Liam Ruck, who finds Gordon-Carroll again!

It's Liam's 2nd assist of the night.

Markus extends his point streak to 9 games!

[Pens System @PensSystem]

Liam Ruck springs Schaeffer Gordon-Carroll!

It's Liam's 18th point of the season, and he extends his point streak to 6 games!

[Pens System @PensSystem]

Pierce Mbuyi scores his 15th goal of the season!

[Pens System @PensSystem]

Amazing catch and release from Zam Plante!

It's his 6th goal of the season.

[Pens System @PensSystem]

Mac Swanson with a great backcheck, and then he makes a nice pass to Cole Reschny (CGY)!

[Pens System @PensSystem]

Daniel Russell sends Avery Hayes in all alone, and he makes no mistake!

It's Hayes' 7th goal of the season, and Russell extends his point streak to 5 games.
